Your bike in front of something different...

[Andy in Germany]

I went a different way back from work today, but I think I may have gone a bit too far...

Following up this earlier visit:

This intrigued me as I cycled past this morning:

A brief bit of internet searching later revealed that Billy Button - a lad local to the area - was the only member of the Mayflower contingent not to survive the Atlantic crossing. (See 'A Death Onboard the Mayflower' section)

Every day is a learning day!

Headed over to Austerfield, the community with which Butten may be linked. Captured the following tiled plaque, commemorating his involvement in the Pilgrim Fathers' voyage. (as it's on the side of someone's garage, didn't think it appropriate to lean my bike up agin it though)

Whilst in Austerfield, I picked up a further strand of the 'Mayflower Trail' and called at St Helen's Church where William Bradford, Pilgrim Father and 1st Governor of the Plymouth colony, was baptised. Got MBIFO there instead.

No thread for your bike in front of a hay bale, so must be something different. A convenient spot to stop for a snack in the Gordano Valley. The bales provide the table, not the snack.

The bike is positioned perfectly.

I wonder why they left a hole in the bottom of the wall?

I wonder why the y left a hole in the bottom of the wall?

Ran out of stones.

(Judging by the shape and grille, I'm guessing water drainage)

I'm guessing drainage as well.

There's quite a well trod trail across the grass to the hole , so I suspect it was for the wildlife and of course water as it's in a dip

I'm trying to think of something novel, but I'm stumped.
